Nas and DJ Shadow are about as iconic and legendary as it gets. I never imagined them coming together on a track but it’s 2017 and collaboration has never been at a better place. Proving this once more comes ‘Systematic’. The cut sees Shadow crafting a wild backdrop which is part classic boom-bap and part futuristic. Nas provides fitting bars…

Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. has been the most talked about album in recent time. Yesterday Kendrick dropped a visual for one of the albums standouts ‘DNA’. Today Mr. Carmack has decided to put his own touch on it with a fresh remix. In tru eCarmack fashion, the producer layers Kendricks’ vocal over mind-bending bass. The intensity doesn’t last forever though, as…

Sumthin Sumthin just unloaded sumthin serious. Connecting with Nottingham MC, Snowy, the two deliver a filthy grime slapper. Echoed vocal bends and ritualistic drums set the stage for what one might expect to be a massive trap drop. Instead we’re welcomed by Snowy’s raw delivery and some icy grime basslines. Sumthin Sumthin proceeds to play with the vocals, adding a…

Everyone’s favourite club producing amniote, Trippy Turtle, is back with another remix to heat up the party. The Turtle takes on the Calvin Harris, Frank Ocean & Migos mega hit ‘Slide’. The rework retains the summery feel of the OG while sprinkling in some heavy kicks, pitched vocals and raw vocals chops. He also drops in a few Drake and…

Last week a series of cryptic images across some of favourite artists’ socials led us to uncovering that Brillz’s Twonk imprint was set to unleash their first ever compilation Twonkilation. Further building upon the hype comes a massive collab from Brillz, Jackal & Kstylis. ‘Twerk Star’ might be the most massive mid-tempo monster we’ve come across in 2017. The track…

Keys N Krates & KRANE’s ‘Right Here’ was a beautifully upbeat smash. Thanks to QUIX it’s not beautiful anymore. The beast of a producer just dragged it into the dungeons, dismembered it and buried it behind the castle. The catchy vocals serve as glimmer of hope while QUIX crafts a soundscape with the sole desire to slaughter speakers. The addition…

Birthed in Vancouver and grown across the globe, Crystals is the latest artist collective you need to know. They first caught our ear with Crystals Vol. 1, but it’s their latest installment that has truly blown us away. Founded by Canadian producer So Sus, the collective has a strong disregard for genre-based barriers. Opting instead to showcase a myriad of…

Australian production duo SLUMBERJACK are back with 5 a track EP. Fracture builds upon they’re established sound; blending future bass, trap and even a slight dubstep influence. The project kicks off with ‘Afraid, Unafraid’ a vocally driven tune that fuses warm weather feels with emotional appeal. ‘Paralyse’ is a clear standout, finding the perfect balance between stirring soundscapes and vicious…

The most highly anticipated album of the year has arrived. Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. is now available to stream. The 14 track offering features Rihanna, UZ, James Blake, Mike WiLL Made-It, DJ Dahi and more. But you’re not really here for them, you’re here for K.Dot. And boy does he deliver. It’s way too early to start analyzing eveything but be assured…

Earlier today, a slew of our favorite artists including Brillz, Bro Safari, ETC!ETC!, Willy Joy, Lil Texas and more all began posting different iterations of the image above. The coordinated effort left fans wondering what it could mean. The “R-001” text in the top corner hinted towards the first installment of a compilation. For hardcore fans of Brillz, the symbol…
